x86, mm: Set NX across entire PMD at boot
When setting up permissions on kernel memory at boot, the end of the
PMD that was split from bss remained executable. It should be NX like
the rest. This performs a PMD alignment instead of a PAGE alignment to
get the correct span of memory.
Before:
---[ High Kernel Mapping ]---
...
0xffffffff8202d000-0xffffffff82200000 1868K RW GLB NX pte
0xffffffff82200000-0xffffffff82c00000 10M RW PSE GLB NX pmd
0xffffffff82c00000-0xffffffff82df5000 2004K RW GLB NX pte
0xffffffff82df5000-0xffffffff82e00000 44K RW GLB x pte
0xffffffff82e00000-0xffffffffc0000000 978M pmd
After:
---[ High Kernel Mapping ]---
...
0xffffffff8202d000-0xffffffff82200000 1868K RW GLB NX pte
0xffffffff82200000-0xffffffff82e00000 12M RW PSE GLB NX pmd
0xffffffff82e00000-0xffffffffc0000000 978M pmd
[ tglx: Changed it to roundup(_brk_end, PMD_SIZE) and added a comment.
We really should unmap the reminder along with the holes
caused by init,initdata etc. but thats a different issue ]
